Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 561 Where are the reinforcements?

"When will we really take action? We've been waiting for so long."

Jiang Xi followed several companions around him and lay down on the ground, carefully peering into the distance, watching the barbarian riders forcing and driving the tenant farmers and common people towards the city!
He heard screams in his ears. Although it was not clear due to the distance and the obstruction of the trees, Jiang Xi still felt restless in his heart when he looked at the "blood flowers" blooming in the distance.

Strictly speaking, he was born as a sharecropper, so when he saw the scene outside the city, he felt particularly sympathetic, so much so that even the physical fatigue after the rapid march was suppressed a lot.

"Xiao Jiang, calm down, the team leader hasn't given the order yet, so we can't move! We have to be worthy of the prefect's food, don't be impulsive."

A steady voice came from the side. It was his companion, Lao Zhang from Zhangjia Village. He had dark skin but a strong physique. While speaking, he was still looking outside.

Around the two people, there were still figures lying down. Further away, deep in the forest, figures could be seen moving forward slowly. They followed the key points they had mastered during the training, between the forest leaves and the soil. Creep forward.

In this era, the north was mostly a land of dense forests. Dangcheng County was close to water sources, so the surrounding vegetation was already lush. It was midsummer, the rainfall was quite abundant, the forests were lush and green, and the clothes on Jiang Xi and others were , are also mainly dark and dark green. If a person is lying in the forest, it is difficult to distinguish them without careful exploration and closer inspection.

So there were so many of them hiding among them, but the Xianbei people in the distance who were eager to break the city didn't even notice.

"How long will it take?" Jiang Xi became more and more anxious, but after practicing for many days, listening to Chen Zhi's lectures several times, and learning a little bit about military formations, the concept of orders and prohibitions was deeply rooted in his heart. Although he was anxious, he still It's not enough to act haphazardly.

The old Zhang lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "It's hard to say, but you don't have to worry, we traveled all the way and arrived here, we definitely didn't come here to be judges, besides, there are still a few groups of people who were taken away. Have you gone somewhere else? You might have to wait for them to take action!"

"That's all." Jiang Xi listened and felt it made sense.

These people, of course, were Wu Ding who had been recruited by Chen Zhi and had been practicing for some time. Under the combined effect of the exhortation tea and various special training methods, they had the strength to fight in a short period of time, and they had the ability to fight. A prohibitive situation.

Just a few days ago, they suddenly got the order. Under the leadership of Yang Song and others, they left the barracks outside Dai County overnight. With some dry food, they marched quickly, moving forward on their own feet, and finally arrived last night. When around the city.

Through the news sent back by the scouts, this army grasped the movements of the Xianbei people and made a simple layout. Early this morning, they divided their troops into several groups and ambush around, waiting for the Xianbei people's movements.

What awaited was the scene of the Xianbei people driving the people to attack the city.

Time passed bit by bit, as the Xianbei people got closer and closer to the county seat, and nearly [-]% of the people at the front were injured. Jiang Xi's eyes turned red. If he didn't have a trace of reason in his heart, he would have rushed away. out.

But even so, his persistence was almost reaching its limit, as if a string in his heart was getting tighter and tighter, and was about to be broken.

At this moment, the sound of drums suddenly came from the forest, and along with the orders, Jiang Xi suddenly felt his mind brighten up. He got up from the ground, touched the weapon beside him, and rushed out!
With this rush, he vented all the anger and fury that had accumulated in his chest when he was lying down. Through the shouts in his mouth and the kicking of his legs, he ran faster and faster!
However, deep in the memory that had been blessed by the Quanxue Tea, the subconscious mind about military formations and phalanxes still remained, so while running, he could almost instinctively maintain the distance and position with his surrounding comrades.

Of course, he was not the only one who ran faster and faster. The other warriors who had been lurking in the grass and trees for a long time, watching the people being slaughtered and the barbarians showing their ferocity, also burst out with anger in their chests. !Running fast!

"Formation! Formation! Maintain formation!"

There are still many people who can keep calm. At least the leader of each team still remembers his responsibilities. While leading the charge, he also shouts to the team members next to him to remind them to remember. The point is.

After all, this is not a group fight or a competition of martial arts, but a war. When fighting, it is not that you will win if you can fight, but the one who can maintain the situation and formation will have the last laugh.

The so-called rout often begins with the distortion and collapse of the formation.

In view of this, when attacking, fast is not necessarily the best, nor does it mean that being fearless will guarantee victory, but it is necessary to maintain organization and be able to dispatch and command!

Therefore, when these Wu Dings charge, the team leader's reminder is particularly important to them. This activates the seeds planted by the exhortation tea in their subconscious to maintain the most basic formation.Therefore, when the many warriors who rushed out of the woods came into contact with the Xianbei cavalry who had their backs turned to them, looking at them from a distance, they could still see the outline of the formation and the rules!

The rain of arrows in the forest soared into the sky, drew an arc in the air, and fell like raindrops, hitting the Xianbei cavalry. This sudden change surprised and shocked the Xianbei people, let alone that they were rushing towards the city. , but the rain of arrows flew out from the woods behind and headed straight for their backs!

Suddenly, people screamed, and before many people could react, arrows were already inserted into their shoulders. Many people subconsciously turned the horses' heads, wanting to see what happened, but such a decision made Their movements were slow and frozen in place, and the last thing they saw were the arrows flying towards them!
Puff puff!
The sound of arrows piercing flesh and blood continued to sound, some of which were inserted into the bodies of the Xianbei people, and some were inserted into the mounts under their crotches.

If the archers were not very new and their accuracy and range were not accurate enough, this round of arrow rain would have been enough to kill more than half of the Xianbei people, but now it only caused losses to about a quarter of the people at the back.

But this was enough. After the impact of the arrow rain, the Xianbei people's advance had stalled. Half of the troops fell into chaos and lost their cavalry charge formation.

And as the rain of arrows stopped, densely packed infantry followed!
"kill!"

This was Jiang Xi's first time in battle, but he thrust his spear at the Xianbei people in front without hesitation!
During the drills and marches, their superiors, team leaders and others would provide psychological counseling to them from time to time. Following Chen Zhi's instructions, they would tell them about the dangers of the battlefield and the scenes of fighting to reduce their fear. .

In fact, there are almost no veterans in this army of warriors. Even the captain and others who look quite experienced are selected from Chen Zhi's hundreds of servants, but in the real sense, the battlefield , they have never set foot.

At most, some of them had fought against horse thieves and small groups of cavalry under the leadership of Chen Zhi, so mentally, this army was immature.

The battlefield brings death, and the battlefield also brings blood.

A person, when he is placed in it, will be at a loss and needs someone to guide him. But Chen Zhi does not have such conditions, so he must choose a suitable opponent and let the soldiers experience it first.

After such tempering, your mentality will become different.

But when it comes to the actual battlefield, there will inevitably be timid people. But fortunately, these young warriors were able to survive under the Ke Bo Zhenbu's cruel and barbaric treatment of the people, forcing and driving them to death, and in doing so, destroying the city. They were angry, and their anger made them forget the horror of death and blood, and the shouts of their comrades beside them inspired their murderous intent.

As a result, the contact between these soldiers and the Xianbei people was overwhelming!
Raid, chaos in the enemy formation, facing Xianbei's back with righteousness, and by coincidence, Xianbei placed too many obstacles around him - the scholars who were tied to the side, and the people who were placed in front , which virtually offsets the greatest advantage of the cavalry.

Under the combined effect of these various factors, this Xianbei army quickly fell into a disadvantage. No matter how many leaders shouted, chaos and panic spread among the Xianbei people.

"Hold it! Fight back! Fight back! We are the warriors of the grassland. Use your scimitars to tell these despicable attackers who are the warriors!" Marshal Xujituo turned his horse's head and charged away. He went out and ignored Zhu Hong, who was tied up beside him, and ran wildly. He waved his scimitar on horseback, and the sharp blade flashed with cold light as it passed over the neck of a famous warrior.

Soon, under his ferocity, the surrounding Wuding recovered from the excitement of blood spurting, knew their fear, and began to avoid, leaving a piece of space around Sujituo.

"Bah! Coward!" He spat, raised his head and looked around. Only then did he realize that his tribe was surrounded, separated by an infantry named Zhongyuan, and attacked by spears and knives. greeting.

The formation of the Central Plains people and the chaos of the Xianbei people were intertwined, which allowed Wu Ding to cut off the connection between the Xianbei cavalry, and through a short period of contact, the Xianbei people had no time to let their horses run.

The Xianbei people's bravery allowed them to withstand multiple attacks, but they were unable to defeat four hands with two fists. Amid the screams, the Xianbei people fell from their horses, and blood flowed from their chests and necks, mixing with the soil.

On the city wall, Wu Guangshu and others looked at the scene below and were stunned.

"This...where are the reinforcements coming from? Could it be that Wang Quan's people have arrived?"
